THE THEORIES

Last night I ordered Chinese food and they packed it in this bag.

http://s.ecrater.com/stores/195414/4d30da84064a2_195414n.jpg

This startling revelation has opened up my mind to the truth.

I'm

now convinced that Red John and Tyger Tyger have ties to Chinese
restaurants and that fortune cookies are a method of persuasive mind
control created by Visualize. They're so subtle, yet effective. Red
John's disciples are a collaborative network of psychotic cashiers. They
have
access to databases that contain everyone's personal information,
because they have it on file from each pick-up order. When Lorelei
Martins says that Patrick and Red John could have been 'friends' when
they 'shook hands', she is eluding to the fact that Patrick, like the
rest of us, has taken from the Chinese while at the same time continuing
a relationship filled with tension and mistrust. The Tiger and the
Dragon are both central creatures on the Chinese calender. The color red
is a common theme in almost every Chinese restaurant. The Chinese flag
is 'Red All Over.' Most of the Mentalist episode titles contain the word
'red.' This is the 'Lie' within the 'Truth' that the S6, Episode 7
promo was hinting towards. Red John is masterminding China's rise to
power. Global domination is the highest level of achievement and the
true goal of Visualize. It's up to Patrick to discover this dark truth
and take measures to stop this threat before it's too late. The true
identity of Red John is.....Xi Jingping, China's president. It explains
how he is able to travel around so quickly without being discovered. He
has all the connections in the known world and the means to conceal anything he pleases. It would also provide some insight as to why he has a fondness for murdering females.

I dont know who is rj but ppl why are they going out of the way to make Rigsby look so different in them promo pics he is looking evil.
And always separated from the rest of group.. Tell me what that about.. Then they 'accidently' play the episode with Rigsbys father... And Risgby is coincidently leaving the show mid season.

Sorry I dunno who red John is but I believe Jane joined the cBI for a reason...
The lady that plays Lisbon said she was very shocked when she found out who red John was.. Would she be shocked if it was someone on the list... I doubt it and neither would we.

In my opinion on the list of 7 there is no one with serial killer qualities .. They are all already known to be bad men or if not kind of wayward. The reason why a serial killer can be given that title is cos they go long periods of time without getting caught.. Why u may ask..?

Because they usually display 2 personalities - a friendly sweet charming sometimes dumb themselves down to hide there inner monster. They are usually good citizens, maybe a father with a family and almost always definitely well spoken of by people that knew them. Like I said I do not know who rj is but.. None of those 7 (maybe Partridge but he's dead unless he resurrects from the dead.. But I will leave him out..) displays any of these characteristics.. They are all bad man anyway so who would be shocked or surprised if the were rj... Most of all would u care?

That is why I think someone like Risgby is perfect for rj.. I think they are making an effort ( a subliminal effort) to make Risgby stand out for some reason or another.

To be honest I don't know.. it could be any one!!

But for real them promo pics tho... Risgby looks like he killed a bitch or 2.. Looks really freaky.. Go check it out

Red John is not a person, is a organization. Nobody is Red John and Everybody are Red John.

When Robin Tunney said, she was surprised when she came to know who Red John is, and would have been equally surprised if it would have been her, does she mean the actor who plays Red John was surprised it was him, or the character played by him was surprised too? Means, a leader without knowing in a chain of commands, and nobody knows who the real leader is?

And almost as important as to finally know RJs identity is to know what the plot will be for the rest of the season and the possibly upcoming 7th season, as Robin Tunney and Simon Baker are signed up for 7 years.

Hey guys,

Yes, People are still assuming Partridge,Haffner even a non-member of the list as RJ. Something that still crosses my mind, in last season, some episode,Agent Kirkland asked a patient(forgot his name) if he remembered "who he was". While mumbling an answer , Kirkland injected him with something, the patient then died. What i dont get is , Yes Agent Kirkland is now dead, and from the patients response, the patient did recognise the face of Kirkland, Why did the agent have to kill him? Is Kirkland protecting his twin? also we know Kirkland wanted to deal to Red John(possibly his twin) himself, But then again the theorys on Haffner etc and some person not on the list are still plausible. Drop a comment on your thoughts! Also im sick and tired of Agent Lisbon wanting to know everything hahahaha bloody hell mind your own business woman! lol

It is true that Bruno Heller, said that Red John is of the 7 and therefore all based on a character name from the list. But Red John is an organization. Ergo all are Red John. The tip is to find "Red John" who killed Patrick's wife. So always Heller said it was like playing Wally. We must look to Red John, of all Red John who killed the wife of PJ. Greetings.

 CBS just announced they'll be showing Fire and Brimstone this coming sunday since a lot of people got the Rigsby fathers episode instead. 

The Great Red Dragon will air November 17th. 

Looks like we have to wait even longer for the red john reveal.
